WWE Hall of Fame
The WWE Hall of Fame is a hall of fame which honors professional wrestlers and professional wrestling personalities maintained by WWE. Originally known as the "WWF Hall of Fame", it was created in 1993 when André the Giant was posthumously inducted with a video package as the sole inductee that year. The 1994 and 1995 ceremonies were held in conjunction with the annual King of the Ring pay-per-view events and the 1996 ceremony was held with the Survivor Series event. After an eight-year hiatus and after the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) had been renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002, the promotion relaunched the Hall of Fame in 2004 and has held the ceremonies in conjunction with WrestleMania ever since. Since 2005, portions of the induction ceremonies have aired on television and since 2014, the entire ceremonies have aired on the WWE Network, which was extended to Peacock in 2021 after the American version of the WWE Network merged under Peacock that year.

History
The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) established the WWF Hall of Fame in 1993. It was first announced on the March 22, 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw where André the Giant, who had died nearly two months prior, was announced as the sole inductee.[1][2][3] In the proceeding two years, induction ceremonies were held in conjunction with the annual King of the Ring pay-per-view events. The 1996 ceremony was held with the Survivor Series event, for the first time in front of a paying audience as well as the wrestlers, after which, the Hall of Fame went on hiatus.[4]
In 2002, the WWF was renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and the promotion relaunched the now WWE Hall of Fame in 2004 to coincide with WrestleMania XX.[5] This ceremony, like its predecessors, was not broadcast on television, though highlights were shown at the WrestleMania event followed by the inductees appearing on the entrance stage in a condensed ceremony, which would become a Hall of Fame tradition from that point forward. The full version was released on DVD on June 1, 2004.[6] Beginning with the 2005 ceremony, an edited version of the Hall of Fame was broadcast on Spike TV (2005)[7] and on the USA Network (2006[8]–present[9]); these were aired on tape delay. Since 2005, the entire Hall of Fame ceremony has been packaged as part of the annual WrestleMania DVD release,[10] and from 2014, has been broadcast live on the WWE Network streaming service.[11] The 2021 ceremony, however, was pre-taped on March 30 and April 1 and aired on April 6. In addition to the WWE Network in international markets, the event also aired on Peacock in the United States after the American version of the WWE Network had merged under Peacock in March that year.[12]
Although a building has never been built to represent the Hall of Fame, WWE has looked into constructing a facility. In 2008, Shane McMahon, then-Executive Vice President of Global Media of WWE, stated that WWE had been storing wrestling memorabilia in a warehouse for years, with all items categorized and dated in case a facility is created.[13] Ric Flair stated in 2020 that WWE was in the process of creating a building for the Hall of Fame and that it would be in Florida in the Orlando area,[14] but plans had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]
Specialty inductees
Celebrity wing
The "celebrity wing" of the Hall of Fame is dedicated to celebrities that have made memorable appearances on WWE programming, and/or have had longtime associations with WWE (or professional wrestling in general), who have been very successful in other fields.
Warrior Award
In 2015, WWE introduced the Warrior Award for those who have "exhibited unwavering strength and perseverance, and who live life with the courage and compassion that embodies the indomitable spirit of the Ultimate Warrior."[16]
While WWE promotes Warrior Award recipients as Hall of Fame inductees,[17][18] they are not included in the Hall of Fame section at WWE.com[19] and an image gallery which shows "every WWE Hall of Famer ever" does not contain any recipient.[20]
The award was created following the Ultimate Warrior's death. During his April 2014 Hall of Fame speech shortly before his death, he proposed that there be a special category called the "Jimmy Miranda Award" for WWE's behind-the-scenes employees.[21][22] Miranda, who died in 2002, was part of the WWE merchandise department for more than 20 years.[23] Former WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts expressed disappointment at how WWE used portions of Warrior's Hall of Fame speech to promote the award but left out Warrior's intentions of honoring WWE's off-screen employees.[24][25] WWE responded, "It is offensive to suggest that WWE and its executives had anything, but altruistic intentions in honoring Connor and his legacy with The Warrior Award", adding that "moving forward the award will be given annually to acknowledge other unsung heroes among WWE's employees and fans".[26] Since 2019 all recipients have been either current or former WWE employees.[27]
Traditionally, Dana Warrior, the widow of the Ultimate Warrior, presents the award.
Legacy inductees
In 2016, WWE introduced a new category for the Hall of Fame called the "Legacy" wing. Inductees in this category are from several eras of wrestling history, going back to the early 20th century.[28] All but two inductees, Hisashi Shinma and MSG Network creator Joseph Cohen, have been inducted posthumously. Legacy inductees are recognized with a video package at the ceremonies.[29][30]
The Legacy wing also has some criticism around it, specifically regarding the abbreviated way of the inductions. Journalist Dave Meltzer said "this is the category they (WWE) use to honor people who, for whatever reason, they don't feel are marketable names to the modern audience to put in their actual Hall of Fame".[31] Promoter and manager Jim Cornette criticized the fact that recognizable names like Jim Londos or El Santo were part of a video package.[32] Legacy inductees are not announced before the ceremonies and families of posthumous inductees are not notified of their inductions. This practice has been criticized by family members of Legacy inductees Bruiser Brody and Ethel Johnson.[33][34]

Ceremony dates and locations
Reception
Omissions and refused inductions
In 2012, The Post and Courier columnist Mike Mooneyham noted that the Hall has garnered criticism due to the inductions of questionable performers, and the omissions of major names within the industry.[257] Bob Backlund declined induction multiple times,[258] and The Ultimate Warrior wrote that he refused the honor in 2010;[259] they were eventually inducted in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Randy Savage was long recognized as being noticeably absent;[260] Chris Jericho said that the Hall achieved a level of legitimacy by inducting Savage in 2015.[261] Mick Foley long described Vader as "the most glaring and obvious omission from the #WWEHOF";[262][263] this was later corrected when he was posthumously inducted as part of the Class of 2022.[222] Chyna is also a topic of conversation of whether or not she should be inducted due to the nature of her post-WWE career, Ultimately, she was posthumously inducted as a member of D-Generation-X in 2019, although fans, family and fellow wrestlers have since started petitioning for her solo posthumous induction. The most recent discussion amongst fans about a potential induction to the Hall of Fame is about the potential posthumous induction of Bray Wyatt in the near future. Fans started petitioning for his induction, whether it be solo or as part of The Wyatt Family, after his death in August 2023.
Bruno Sammartino, the longest-reigning WWWF World Heavyweight Champion, was once critical of the Hall of Fame. Sammartino disapproved of celebrity inductees such as Pete Rose and William Perry, and said of the ceremony: "What's the point to a Hall of Fame? Is it a building I can actually go to? No. Give me a break".[264] Sammartino declined previous induction offers, before accepting in 2013. Paul Levesque (Triple H) said that it was important for Sammartino to be inducted from a "legitimacy standpoint" and ESPN said that his induction was an opportunity to legitimize the Hall of Fame.[265] After being announced as an inductee, Sammartino said he considered the Hall to be legitimate.[266]
In December 2021, Jeff Hardy was released from WWE. On March 8, 2022, the day that Hardy's no-compete clause expired, WWE reached out to Hardy and offered him an inductee spot to the WWE Hall of Fame (2022) ceremony. Jeff Hardy declined the offer because he was offended, felt like it wasn't time yet and he wanted Matt Hardy to be inducted alongside him.[267]
Quality of inductees
Ric Flair has stated there are several wrestlers in the Hall of Fame that didn't deserve it, but he didn't name names.[268] Koko B. Ware, who worked as an undercard wrestler in WWF, is often billed as a controversial inductee since he was selected before wrestlers such as Randy Savage or Bruno Sammartino.[269][270][271][272][273] Caleb Smith of Slam Wrestling questioned how Ware was inducted, but former WWWF World Heavyweight Champion Ivan Koloff never was before his 2017 death.[274] 411Mania writer Steve Cook defended his Hall of Fame status since he was very popular with fans and some of his losses were historic, while Kevin Pantoja described him as "the floor for inductees".[275]
Superstar Billy Graham publicly slammed the hall and demanded that WWE remove him from it, due to the 2011 induction of Abdullah the Butcher. Graham wrote: "It is a shameless organization to induct a bloodthirsty animal such as Abdullah the Butcher into their worthless and embarrassing Hall of Fame and I want the name of Superstar Billy Graham to be no part of it".[276] In 2018, Bret Hart, who headlined the 2006 ceremony, criticized the omissions of several wrestlers, primarily Dynamite Kid and his brother Owen, as well as the inductions of the likes of The Rock 'n' Roll Express and The Fabulous Freebirds, who experienced little success in WWE. Hart said he would not go to another ceremony until WWE inducts "proper, deserving candidates".[277] However, Hart attended the 2019 ceremony as he was inducted for a second time as part of The Hart Foundation.[30] Hart also asked WWE to remove Goldberg from the Hall of Fame, stating that "he got in there for hurting everybody he worked with" (which included himself in 1999).[278] In 2021, after the January 6 United States Capitol attack, Mick Foley asked Vince McMahon to remove Donald Trump from the Hall of Fame though it ultimately did not occur.[279]
Dave Scherer of PWInsider has questioned how WWE can sustain the 2004–present Hall of Fame model, due to legends being rapidly inducted. He wrote: "There are only so many people that they can have headline a class. They really need to make more new stars to ensure that they can keep filling arenas for the ceremony".[280] 411Mania's Ryan Byers said WWE standards are "weird" since several inductees have Hall of Fame careers, but others "made it in for political reasons, longstanding loyalty to the promotion".[281]
Praise and criticism
Owen Hart's widow, Martha Hart, responded to calls for him to be inducted by stating: "They don't even have a Hallway of Fame. It doesn't exist. There's nothing. It's a fake entity. There's nothing real or tangible. It's just an event they have to make money. They put it on TV and have a celebration, and it's just so ridiculous. I would never even entertain it. It's garbage."[282] Sabu also criticized the Hall of Fame, saying "I'd only do it because I need the money... I don't consider it a real Hall of Fame".[283]
Others have offered praise for the Hall of Fame. World Wrestling Council promoter and 26-time WWC Universal Heavyweight Champion Carlos Colón Sr. said that his 2014 induction was a "realization of a dream".[284] Arn Anderson, who was inducted in 2012 as part of The Four Horsemen, said that the induction was the "pinnacle of [his] wrestling life".[285] 2015 Hall of Fame headliner Kevin Nash stated that two things in the professional wrestling business are real: "When you win your first championship and when you get inducted into the Hall of Fame". Nash claimed this is a sentiment to which colleague Ric Flair also subscribes.[286] During his 2013 induction, future U.S. president Donald Trump said that the honor meant more than "having the highest ratings in TV, being a best-selling author or getting a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame".[287]

Night Raw where Andre the Giant who had died nearly two months prior was announced as the sole inductee 1 2 3 In the proceeding two years induction ceremonies were held in conjunction with the annual King of the Ring pay per view events The 1996 ceremony was held with the Survivor Series event for the first time in front of a paying audience as well as the wrestlers after which the Hall of Fame went on hiatus 4 In 2002 the WWF was renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment WWE and the promotion relaunched the now WWE Hall of Fame in 2004 to coincide with WrestleMania XX 5 This ceremony like its predecessors was not broadcast on television though highlights were shown at the WrestleMania event followed by the inductees appearing on the entrance stage in a condensed ceremony which would become a Hall of Fame tradition from that point forward The full version was released on DVD on June 1 2004 6 Beginning with the 2005 ceremony an edited version of the Hall of Fame was broadcast on Spike TV 2005 7 and on the USA Network 2006 8 present 9 these were aired on tape delay Since 2005 the entire Hall of Fame ceremony has been packaged as part of the annual WrestleMania DVD release 10 and from 2014 has been broadcast live on the WWE Network streaming service 11 The 2021 ceremony however was pre taped on March 30 and April 1 and aired on April 6 In addition to the WWE Network in international markets the event also aired on Peacock in the United States after the American version of the WWE Network had merged under Peacock in March that year 12 Although a building has never been built to represent the Hall of Fame WWE has looked into constructing a facility In 2008 Shane McMahon then Executive Vice President of Global Media of WWE stated that WWE had been storing wrestling memorabilia in a warehouse for years with all items categorized and dated in case a facility is created 13 Ric Flair stated in 2020 that WWE was in the process of creating a building for the Hall of Fame and that it would be in Florida in the Orlando area 14 but plans had been delayed due to the COVID 19 pandemic 15 Specialty inducteesCelebrity wing The celebrity wing of the Hall of Fame is dedicated to celebrities that have made memorable appearances on WWE programming and or have had longtime associations with WWE or professional wrestling in general who have been very successful in other fields Warrior Award nbsp Dana Warrior presents the inaugural Warrior Award at the 2015 Hall of Fame ceremonyIn 2015 WWE introduced the Warrior Award for those who have exhibited unwavering strength and perseverance and who live life with the courage and compassion that embodies the indomitable spirit of the Ultimate Warrior 16 While WWE promotes Warrior Award recipients as Hall of Fame inductees 17 18 they are not included in the Hall of Fame section at WWE com 19 and an image gallery which shows every WWE Hall of Famer ever does not contain any recipient 20 The award was created following the Ultimate Warrior s death During his April 2014 Hall of Fame speech shortly before his death he proposed that there be a special category called the Jimmy Miranda Award for WWE s behind the scenes employees 21 22 Miranda who died in 2002 was part of the WWE merchandise department for more than 20 years 23 Former WWE ring announcer Justin Roberts expressed disappointment at how WWE used portions of Warrior s Hall of Fame speech to promote the award but left out Warrior s intentions of honoring WWE s off screen employees 24 25 WWE responded It is offensive to suggest that WWE and its executives had anything but altruistic intentions in honoring Connor and his legacy with The Warrior Award adding that moving forward the award will be given annually to acknowledge other unsung heroes among WWE s employees and fans 26 Since 2019 all recipients have been either current or former WWE employees 27 Traditionally Dana Warrior the widow of the Ultimate Warrior presents the award Legacy inductees In 2016 WWE introduced a new category for the Hall of Fame called the Legacy wing Inductees in this category are from several eras of wrestling history going back to the early 20th century 28 All but two inductees Hisashi Shinma and MSG Network creator Joseph Cohen have been inducted posthumously Legacy inductees are recognized with a video package at the ceremonies 29 30 The Legacy wing also has some criticism around it specifically regarding the abbreviated way of the inductions Journalist Dave Meltzer said this is the category they WWE use to honor people who for whatever reason they don t feel are marketable names to the modern audience to put in their actual Hall of Fame 31 Promoter and manager Jim Cornette criticized the fact that recognizable names like Jim Londos or El Santo were part of a video package 32 Legacy inductees are not announced before the ceremonies and families of posthumous inductees are not notified of their inductions This practice has been criticized by family members of Legacy inductees Bruiser Brody and Ethel Johnson 33 34 ClassesClass of 1993 WWF Hall of Fame 1993 PromotionWWFDateMarch 22 1993CityNew York City New

headliner Bruno Sammartino previously refused to accept an inductionIn 2012 The Post and Courier columnist Mike Mooneyham noted that the Hall has garnered criticism due to the inductions of questionable performers and the omissions of major names within the industry 257 Bob Backlund declined induction multiple times 258 and The Ultimate Warrior wrote that he refused the honor in 2010 259 they were eventually inducted in 2013 and 2014 respectively Randy Savage was long recognized as being noticeably absent 260 Chris Jericho said that the Hall achieved a level of legitimacy by inducting Savage in 2015 261 Mick Foley long described Vader as the most glaring and obvious omission from the WWEHOF 262 263 this was later corrected when he was posthumously inducted as part of the Class of 2022 222 Chyna is also a topic of conversation of whether or not she should be inducted due to the nature of her post WWE career Ultimately she was posthumously inducted as a member of D Generation X in 2019 although fans family and fellow wrestlers have since started petitioning for her solo posthumous induction The most recent discussion amongst fans about a potential induction to the Hall of Fame is about the potential posthumous induction of Bray Wyatt in the near future Fans started petitioning for his induction whether it be solo or as part of The Wyatt Family after his death in August 2023 Bruno Sammartino the longest reigning WWWF World Heavyweight Champion was once critical of the Hall of Fame Sammartino disapproved of celebrity inductees such as Pete Rose and William Perry and said of the ceremony What s the point to a Hall of Fame Is it a building I can actually go to No Give me a break 264 Sammartino declined previous induction offers before accepting in 2013 Paul Levesque Triple H said that it was important for Sammartino to be inducted from a legitimacy standpoint and ESPN said that his induction was an opportunity to legitimize the Hall of Fame 265 After being announced as an inductee Sammartino said he considered the Hall to be legitimate 266 In December 2021 Jeff Hardy was released from WWE On March 8 2022 the day that Hardy s no compete clause expired WWE reached out to Hardy and offered him an inductee spot to the WWE Hall of Fame 2022 ceremony Jeff Hardy declined the offer because he was offended felt like it wasn t time yet and he wanted Matt Hardy to be inducted alongside him 267 Quality of inductees nbsp Koko B Ware s 2009 induction remains controversialRic Flair has stated there are several wrestlers in the Hall of Fame that didn t deserve it but he didn t name names 268 Koko B Ware who worked as an undercard wrestler in WWF is often billed as a controversial inductee since he was selected before wrestlers such as Randy Savage or Bruno Sammartino 269 270 271 272 273 Caleb Smith of Slam Wrestling questioned how Ware was inducted but former WWWF World Heavyweight Champion Ivan Koloff never was before his 2017 death 274 411Mania writer Steve Cook defended his Hall of Fame status since he was very popular with fans and some of his losses were historic while Kevin Pantoja described him as the floor for inductees 275 Superstar Billy Graham publicly slammed the hall and demanded that WWE remove him from it due to the 2011 induction of Abdullah the Butcher Graham wrote It is a shameless organization to induct a bloodthirsty animal such as Abdullah the Butcher into their worthless and embarrassing Hall of Fame and I want the name of Superstar Billy Graham to be no part of it 276 In 2018 Bret Hart who headlined the 2006 ceremony criticized the omissions of several wrestlers primarily Dynamite Kid and his brother Owen as well as the inductions of the likes of The Rock n Roll Express and The Fabulous Freebirds who experienced little success in WWE Hart said he would not go to another ceremony until WWE inducts proper deserving candidates 277 However Hart attended the 2019 ceremony as he was inducted for a second time as part of The Hart Foundation 30 Hart also asked WWE to remove Goldberg from the Hall of Fame stating that he got in there for hurting everybody he worked with which included himself in 1999 278 In 2021 after the January 6 United States Capitol attack Mick Foley asked Vince McMahon to remove Donald Trump from the Hall of Fame though it ultimately did not occur 279 Dave Scherer of PWInsider has questioned how WWE can sustain the 2004 present Hall of Fame model due to legends being rapidly inducted He wrote There are only so many people that they can have headline a class They really need to make more new stars to ensure that they can keep filling arenas for the ceremony 280 411Mania s Ryan Byers said WWE standards are weird since several inductees have Hall of Fame careers but others made it in for political reasons longstanding loyalty to the promotion 281 Praise and criticism Owen Hart s widow Martha Hart responded to calls for him to be inducted by stating They don t even have a Hallway of Fame It doesn t exist There s nothing It s a fake entity There s nothing real or tangible It s just an event they have to make money They put it on TV and have a celebration and it s just so ridiculous I would never even entertain it It s garbage 282 Sabu also criticized the Hall of Fame saying I d only do it because I need the money I don t consider it a real Hall of Fame 283 Others have offered praise for the Hall of Fame World Wrestling Council promoter and 26 time WWC Universal Heavyweight Champion Carlos Colon Sr said that his 2014 induction was a realization of a dream 284 Arn Anderson who was inducted in 2012 as part of The Four Horsemen said that the induction was the pinnacle of his wrestling life 285 2015 Hall of Fame headliner Kevin Nash stated that two things in the professional wrestling business are real When you win your first championship and when you get inducted into the Hall of Fame Nash claimed this is a sentiment to which colleague Ric Flair also subscribes 286 During his 2013 induction future U S president Donald Trump said that the honor meant more than having the highest ratings in TV being a best selling author or getting a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame 287 See alsoWWE Hall of Fame statueReferences 1993 WWF results from TheHistoryOfWWE com Archived from the original on November 21 2020
